Sherman slept for a long time. Finally, she was woken by her phone ring. She sat up and answered the phone.
Her voice was nasal. Kingsley said in a gentle voice," Have I woken you up? Take a nap. I will call you later..."
She had the quilt draped around her shoulders and sat up. She smiled, "Don't be so exaggerated. Anyway, I have woken up and can't fall asleep again. What are you doing now?"
Kingsley said resignedly, "I'm at a social function. I'm afraid that I can't have lunch with you..."
Sherman smiled, "It's OK. I will have lunch alone."
Kingsley said, "Then what would you like for lunch? I will ask Lee to buy it for you. Tell me what you would like to eat..."
Sherman thought about it and said, "No need. I will make lunch at home."
Kingsley asked, "How about dinner?"
Sherman felt an irresistible urge to laugh. She shook her head, "No need. Please come home earlier. I will make dinner. I only want you to come back earlier."
Sherman showed her love for him unconsciously. He
was moved. He said in a gentler voice, "OK."
Kingsley was at a social function in a hotel. He came here for the problem of the project. He had got some findings. Now what he needed was the evidence.
He was reluctant to delay it. He just wanted to deal with it as soon as possible.
From the beginning, something was wrong with the design of the project. Otherwise, why did it sink before it was completed?
Another problem was the material. Now that he had found out the problems, he would dig the truth out.
As long as Billy thought that Sherman had Kingsley's baby, Billy couldn't suppress his anger.
He was waiting for Sherman to ask for help from him.
The manager felt uneasy these days. He regretted that he let Sherman be in charge of the project halfway through.
It was out of his control. He hated it the most.
Originally, he could resign and leave here after two days, but now...
As for Kingsley, the manager only knew that Kingsley had a good relationship with Sherman, so the manager tried his best to curry favor with Kingsley.
Sherman had got into trouble. The manager wanted to know how powerful Kingsley was.
